  My car only depends on "foreign" oil because my domestic oil is 
diverted to the US.
  My biggest worry is your next sentences:

  Troops and ships to protect your dependency on oil! Scares me because 
we have oil here ...
  We do not believe we need that much protection, thank you!  You want 
oil? Just give us money and we will be happy.
  Oh, you do not want oil anymore? We have electricity too! Hydro 
electricity to cool you down in the summer.
  No troops please :-)
